With Furren's gesture, a middle-aged man with curly brown hair and a bald white man walked over.

"Link, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Andre Jager, a sculptor. This is Mr. Jim Sheffield, a well-known producer in Hollywood. "The former is curly, the latter is bald.

Mr. and Mrs. Link shook hands with them.

Sheffield shook Link's hand and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hans! ”

Link laughed and said, "That's just luck!"

Film and sculpture can be called art. Of course, art also smells of copper. For example, most of the movies that make money in Hollywood are commercial films that have stripped off the plot. The so-called light and shadow, but Link can't understand it.

As for the sculpture, Link is even more difficult to understand the "beauty" in it. That could be innate.

It must be said that the artist Andrei is a very talkative person. He started from the origin of modern sculpture, from the modern sculpture Rodin, to the famous modern sculpture works and creators.

And it won't leave the art blind couple of Link and his wife speechless. For example, he talked about the statue of the bronze bull on Wall Street, and the statue of Monroe Lena that was demolished, and so on.

He even talked about the convention center where they are located: "For example, this Seattle Convention Center has a very sci-fi appearance, using the reflection and refraction of natural light to create a sharp contrast between light and dark. It's the same as the light and shade processing of the movie screen that causes a stronger picture impact on fans. In fact, it is an artistic expression of modern sculpture. ”

His words would have kept several of them from listening to him alone.

Link did understand some of his words, and he also learned some of the so-called modern sculpture art.

After hearing that, he had only one thought in his heart: art is really conjecture.

But that didn't stop him from supporting the arts. Ordinary people who want to support art are not qualified to do so.

Link laughs, "Speaking of which, my eldest daughter also likes to play with sculpture now, but she mostly uses plaster. ”

"You're talking about Hannah?" Andre said with a smile. "I've heard about your daughter for a long time. I heard that her talent for painting is very good. Since the age of six, he has participated in the 16-year-old drawing competition, and has also won the first prize in the age group of the National Children's and Youth Painting Competition. ”

Link smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm very proud of her talent for drawing! ”

"I've seen her paintings. In fact, I've seen most of the winners' paintings. I have to say, Mr. Hans, you have given some children with artistic talents a stage to express themselves. A very good stage. Andrei said complimentarily. "I think the art world will thank you for that in the future. ”

Link shook his head slightly and said, "I just think that children should also have their own imagination and fantasy of the world, and I hope they can have a place to show it." As for art, I'm just a layman. ”

"No, Mr. Hans. Art, life is everywhere. Whether it's the art we traditionally talk about, or the TV movies that show you, or the children's paintings, sculptures, sculptures, or musical performances that participate in your competitions, or even our every move, it's all art. In fact, I believe that we humans are an art created by God. God created us to create art and feel art. We should make art accessible to all. ”

André thus led to the idea of a modern sculpture competition: "Mr. Hans, in fact, I am organizing a modern sculpture competition in the hope of attracting more young people to experience the beauty of modern sculpture. ”

"Oh, I don't know what kind of competition it is, but if it's appropriate, I think it would be better for the contestants who participated in the children's and teenagers' competition to accept the artistic atmosphere. ”

Since Link is willing to talk to him, he has plans to give the other party a chance. It's just that he can't give this opportunity indiscriminately. He can support art, but he doesn't support it for nothing.

If he wants to support it, it has to be held at Fox. And the necessary grade must be enough, otherwise it will not play a role in improving Fox's fame, and he will not do it in vain.

But what this Andre Jager is capable of, he can't be sure. A lot of things are either spoken or powerful.

André Jager didn't hit the snake with the stick, but smiled and said, "If you can have this opportunity, it will be the best." ”

Hearing that their topic seemed to be over, Flon smiled and said, "Link, do you have any other investment plans for movies besides "Moon Pupil 3"?"

Link shook his head and said, "For the time being, I still found good projects." You know, I can't make my own movies right now. ”

The film industry in the United States separates production, distribution, and screening. Link's current investment in films is also taking advantage of loopholes, the distribution is West Hollywood Media, and the screening is the symbol theater chain. And the investment is personal. Even if Hollywood people knew that he had violated the rules, no one would say anything. Because that's what Hollywood people do.

It's just that he can't go too far and set up another production company on his own. If he does, maybe Hollywood will boycott him. An industry has a circle of industries, and no matter how rich he is, it is impossible for Hollywood to submit to him. Besides, Hollywood is still mostly on Wall Street. There are some inconsistencies with him.

"Jim happens to have a movie project that might interest you. ”

When Link heard that Sheffield was a filmmaker, he knew that he should be looking for him to invest. He smiled and said, "I wonder what Jim's movie plan is?"

Sheffield smiled and briefly explained his film plan, and finally said: "Our film production budget is 60 million, and the distribution and publicity budget is 30 million. So far, 50 million dollars of investment has been found, and Flon plans to invest 10 million dollars. So far, there has been an investment of $60 million. With $30 million left, we're still looking for investors. ”

Link laughed at Jessica and said, "Honey, I think this story sounds good. What do you think?"

Jessica nodded and said, "It sounds like a touching story, and I think it would be a very good literary film." ”

Link thought for a moment and said to Sheffield, "Jim, if you haven't found the right investor yet, I'd like to see your detailed plans." Maybe I can invest some. ”

Naturally, Link is not up to himself to assess whether a movie can make money. He didn't have that ability. The film projects he has invested in in the past have been evaluated by Morris and them, and he will only invest if he believes that they have the potential to be box office hits.

As for the previous movies that could make money, he thinks that one is because Morris and their team have conducted a relatively professional evaluation, and at the same time, there is also the existence of a vice god.

The Vice Decay God will not appear, but he will always try to minimize his losses. To put it simply, his luck is good enough that he can't lose money.

But no matter how lucky he is, he still needs a foundation. If the foundation of the movie is not good, his luck is just to reduce his losses. And there is no guarantee that he will not lose money.

Link invests in movies because he wants to maintain a certain influence in Hollywood, and making money is still secondary. And he can't just invest in movies. It's best to keep the magic of the movies that you invest in.

Therefore, Sheffield's film plan, Link needs Morris and their approval before he can decide to invest.

Sheffield and Jager's purpose was achieved. They talked a little more, and then took their leave.

Katie left after a while, and she needed to socialize with Hollywood circles.

Link waited for Katie to leave before he smiled and asked Flen, "Are you planning a role for Katie in that Sheffield movie?"

Fren did not deny: "Yes. So I invested $10 million in the hope of giving Katie a better chance of getting the role of the heroine. ”

Link smiled and said, "Since you approve of that movie, why don't you just come up with 40 million dollars?"

Flen also smiled and said, "I wish Katie had more chances. But I prefer that her film as the heroine will be a blockbuster. You know, your luck...... They are all very famous in Hollywood. ”

Link laughed and said, "You also believe those words?"

"I know you're not entirely lucky, but I think that's definitely a factor. Flon said with a smile. "And with the movies you invest in, the movies will usually become popular before they are even shot. Besides, your publicity channels are also very wide. ”

Link groaned for a moment and said, "I'll let Morris evaluate them." If they think the film is worth investing in, I invest in it. ”

Flon smiled and raised his glass, saying, "Fox is now in the national spotlight." And, your media ...... What do you think?"

Link knew he was asking why NTV was making such a scandalous thing public. He lowered his voice and said, "Something happened to the current mayor. Naturally, he is no longer fit to be mayor. ”

Furlen nodded and said, "That's a big scandal." ”

The mayor of a small city can hurt the headlines, but that can't be a trivial matter.

As one of Link's good friends, Flon naturally knew Link's intentions towards Fox. It was precisely because of that that that that Fren that he introduced that Andre Jager to Link. He also thinks Fox is still lacking in fame. And Link wants Fox to have a bigger reputation.

Holding an art contest is naturally helpful in raising a city's reputation. Especially when a certain kind of competition becomes famous, the host city becomes a name that is often mentioned. Vienna, for example. All kinds of music competitions can make it a mecca in the hearts of music lovers

The same is true of art competitions.

No matter what kind of art it is, there will be a specific audience, and as long as the standard of the competition is high enough, the host city will naturally rise with it.

However, Fren only introduced a person to Link, and as for whether Link decided to invest in the end, he would not say more.

Fren knew Link's position on Fox, and knew that Link was now manipulating the position of mayor of Fox, so he couldn't help but say in a voice that only Link and Jessica heard: "Link, I think it's time to support a person who is friendly to you to be elected mayor." ”

Link naturally knows this. It's just that he doesn't have the right person in his hands: "I'm looking for a candidate." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that you invested too much in Fox, I would even think that you would be the best fit to run. Flon said with a smile. "Now imagine that you've invested a lot in Fox over the past few years. ”

"Maybe it's too hard. I'm probably going to take it too. Lest it come across as if my investment in Fox was a share. ”

"I also think that unless you have a mayor who absolutely supports you, you have to build Fox in exchange. I feel a little wronged by that. Of course, that's just my own feelings. ”

Link smiled and said helplessly, "Absolutely support me? ”

"By the way, my Pitt Foundation plans to fund a 'Back to the Light' charity event. Free medical care for cataract patients in poor countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Are you interested in participating?"

Link asked, "How much money is needed?"

"That would be a five-year operation. Of course, the more money, the better. ”

"Count me in, I'll get Morris to send someone to your fund. ”

"I'll converge what they said. ”

"In addition, I plan to fund an official ship for a green group that opposes whaling, with an investment of about $60 million. If you are interested, we will each contribute half of the funds, and you can name the new ship. ”

"Against whaling?" a sarcastic smile tugged at the corner of Link's mouth. "Thank you. ”

At present, only a very few countries in the world do whaling, and it is done in the name of science. Almost every year, green organizations have to fight whaling ships from a certain country, but that is a state act, and whaling on the high seas may not have much economic benefit.

But for a country that is inherently inferior, whaling is seen as a power. If their government is forced to agree to no longer hunt whales, it will lose votes by protests from populists and vested interests in the country.

"Although I know that the actions of the green organizations do not make any sense. Although there is a lot of trouble every year, the number of whales killed has not changed. But that's exactly what I wanted. "If that's not a big deal, how would people know that the Green Organization has a boat, and that boat was donated by Link.

Flon is also not optimistic about the actions of the green groups. But that's not what he needs to focus on. He's done what he wants, and he's got what he wants.

"I've heard that green organizations have sent you an invitation to serve as their special director. ”

"I think they need an ATM. ”

Flon laughed and said, "Maybe that's one of their intentions." ”

Because Link advertises himself as an environmentalist, the green group did extend an invitation to Link. He was invited to serve as an Honorary Advisor and Special Director. Those are two positions that are nothing.

Fren smiled and said, "Actually, I think you should accept it." That will give you a few more titles. That's not a small benefit for you. ”

Flen felt that what Link was now pursuing was not wealth, but fame. Reputation is actually formed by the halo placed on a person's head. Every title affects the person's reputation. And that's exactly what Link lacks right now.

If there is not enough reputation, the title of the richest man may not be all good for Link.
